part of this is the fact that the economy is growing faster in some places than others, but china, india, brazil, other emerging markets. oil prices went back down because of the recession. a lot of what is happening in prices is because that economic growth. and countries and economies are starting to use more oil. part of it is also concerned the in terms of what is happening in the middle east. we are confident about our ability to fill any potential gaps and supply. libya does not account for a large portion of world production. basically, even if libyan oil production was suspended because of the unrest, we would be able to fill that gap. so, a lot of this has to do with uncertainty in the market. what i want to communicate to the market is, we are going to do what we need to in consultation with the producing nations, as well as in consultation with our allies who also have reserves to make sure that will supplies remain stable and economic growth is going to continue. i do want to repeat the point that i have made though that -- look, the american people feel this pretty acutely.
